President Biden blasted the expulsion of two Tennessee lawmakers Thursday as “shocking” and “undemocratic,” saying that GOP lawmakers chose to expel lawmakers instead of participating in a discussion about gun reforms.
“Last week, three more students and three school officials were gunned down in yet another tragic mass shooting in Nashville,” Biden said in a statement. “On Monday, 7,000 Tennesseans, many of them students, marched to their state capitol to call on their lawmakers to take action and keep them safe.” “Instead, state Republican lawmakers called votes today to expel three Democratic legislators who stood in solidarity with students and families and helped lift their voices,” he continued.

Getting expelled from the TN House of Representatives isn’t nearly as bad as what the J6ers are going thru.
What do you call expelling 2 Democrats from the Legislature? Answer: A good start.

Gee Joe, they did lead an insurrection. I thought insurrections were worse than 9/11. You meant to say they got off early. Now, go play with your Easter Bunny again.

May be undemocratic in terms of not suiting the jackass party, but seems to be almighty effective in eliminating rule breakers and disrupters of the democratic process.

They were leaders of an insurrection that tried to overthrow their democratically elected state governments.
At a minimum they should be up on 34 felony charges for paying off a hooker.

They deserved what they got and the one that didn’t get expelled by one vote better learn a lesson. Well done all who voted to kick them out!

What about the people In solitary confinement for
simply being present at the capitol on January 6,
2020, Joe? If Republicans can be jailed for this, then so can democrats, unless you think democrats are above the law. Are they above the law, Joe? According to Alvin Bragg, no one is above the law. That’s a laugh.

Joe, minor detail. They broke the law.
Joe really hates it when the Dems are forced to live by their own rules.

Naturally. They're of the same corrupt party as he is. He would have had no problem had 2 republicans been found guilty and removed.

No Brandon, what's shocking is that you think you can make headway against the 2nd Amendment. In case you forgot, it was created as a shield against numbskulls like you.

This is an issue solely within the powers of the State of Tennessee and none of the Communist Federal Government and their Figurehead Illegal President, FJB business. In order for all of us to preserve our God given rights all of the Red States need to band together and start limiting the reach of the Communist Federal Government within their borders.

The two that were expelled are black. I'm surprised Brandon didn't throw out the "R" charge as well.

The Constitution gives the people the right to peaceably assemble and to petition the government for redress of grievances; but when you are part of the government, your job is to keep your a$$ in your seat and to VOTE on the issues, not to join the mob. If the vote doesn't go your way, you accept it and move on. The alternative is mobocracy, which will only lead to chaos. Expelling them was the right thing to do, for the same reason that you don't give in to a toddler throwing a tantrum.

Actions have consequences. They encouraged a gun control mob to invade the state capitol, screaming and threatening the State Troopers guarding the building, then took to the floor of the Tennessee House without permission and demanded that their colleagues pass gun control. The witch who joined them deserved to be expelled as well.

Sorry, Joe, but storming the chamber while in session, and leading a mob of protestors into the State Capitol, followed by agitating and leading chants on a bullhorn is not a discussion! You should know that favorite word of Dems, "insurrection"

The best response the Tennessee Legislature should offer is - "We don't care what Joe Biden thinks about anything."
